Step-by-Step Watercolor Lessons
Watercolor painting can be fun. But at first it can be overwhelming. There are a lot of little things you have to learn and it takes time.
So I made a very thorough, step-by-step course that takes you in baby steps from complete beginner to semi-professional. You get to learn how to use each brush and each color fully before moving on to using a new brush and a new color. At the same time, in each course you will paint a wide variety of scenes, such as sea scenes, river scenes, snow scenes, urban scenes as well as difficult subjects such as trees, cars, figures and boats. It really is a thorough course.
I know that you might want to jump ahead and play with colors and do all kinds of fun techniques but if you don’t master the basics then your watercolor paintings are never going to become really good.
And you are not on your own. You can show me your work and get some feedback and encouragement from me.
One Brush Method
In the One Brush Method everything is simplified to the bare minimum in that you will paint with just one brush and one color. Thus you can focus and master the little things, such as getting good with one brush before using another one, or learning how to paint with just one color and what you can achieve in terms of thickness, edge or tone before having the extra complication of learning mixing.
And although we are only using one brush and one color we are going to do over 10 different paintings. You will learn to paint a variety of landscape scenes, such as sea scenes, river scenes, snow scenes and so. And you’ll learn to paint figures, cars and boats. This is a very thorough course for the complete beginner. And this course is completely free.
Below is one of the lessons on the course.
